Research progress in vascular dizziness/vertigo based on CiteSpace visual analysis / 中风与神经疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the research hotspots and development trend on vascular dizziness/vertigo based on visual analysis. Methods The Web of Science Core Collection Database was searched for papers on vascular dizziness/vertigo from January 2008 to March 2023. The CiteSpace 6.2.R2 software was used for visual analysis of the literature. Results There were a total of 1298 papers，with an increasing number of published papers from January 2008 to March 2023. A total of 424 institutions from 83 countries/regions had published relevant papers. The United States ranked first in terms of the number of published papers（331 papers） and betweenness centrality（0.25）. Johns Hopkins University was the number one institution in terms of the number of published papers （56 papers），Newman-toker and David E were the most prolific authors. The most common keyword was ischemic stroke. According to keyword clustering，research in this field focused on early diagnosis of vascular dizziness/vertigo from risk factors and bedside examinations and infarction of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery supply area. In recent years，researchers had more interests in case reports，video electronystagmograms，and pathophysiological mechanisms in this field. Conclusion There are growing international studies on vascular dizziness/vertigo. Early diagnosis of vascular dizziness/vertigo through risk factors and bedside examinations in the emergency room is a research hotspot in this field. Researchers should focus on these topics in future studies.
